According to a source familiar with the situation, the Mets have hired Sandy Alomar Sr. as their bench coach, Jerry Manuel as the first-base coach, Manny Acta as the third-base coach and Guy Conti as the bullpen coach. Rick Down is expected to be hired as the hitting coach, but the Mets will have to wait until his current Yankees contract expires on Dec. 31.That's gonna be hard for him. They may have to install a chair in the first base coaches box so that Jerry can take naps during really long Mets rallies.

First base coach? This is going to be an interesting summer in Queens.

"Josh is the most versatile baserunner we have. He runs as fast around the bases as he does back to the dugout after getting thrown out at third base to end the inning."

Isn't Don Baylor the hitting coach on that team?

No, he was fired when the Mets cleaned house.

I believe he got a job with the Mariners.

Ok.

Baylor and Manuel on the same coaching staff would be a bit much...

Sandy Alomar is now the bench coach for the Mets and Jerry Manuel is the first base coach for the same club.

Yes, indeed! It's so much excitement we needed to build one giant thread to contain all the excitement! I nearly peed my pants the excitement was so great reading one thread after another.
